A period of quietness... There is a quote from The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis that goes:
"If you've been up all night and cried till you have no more tears left in you--you will know that there comes in the end a sort of quietness." That's where I believe we are right now...out of tears and in a sort of quietness. I haven't posted in a while and I think it's because I've run out of ways to say I miss William. We're somewhere in between our year of firsts and moving into an anxiousness and readiness of getting back into life. I can look back to this time last year and feel grateful that we are where we are now...last year was tough. Ron and I moved to Fort Myers in January so he could take a new job. So far everything has worked out with the move. I can't believe it's almost a year that we've been here. The lifestyle and economy are a little slower here but that has made for lower prices too. I got gas the other day for $2.02 a gallon. Shocker!! We got a new Boxer pup in April and he has really kept us busy and brought new life into our house. We named him Guinness and we get such a kick out him. We lost our old dog Bailey within a week of moving here and Ron decided to surprise me with another dog. It was a great decision. I still check in on our caringbridge friends from time to time. Some are doing better and others have lost their battles. I keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. My mom was down visiting a couple of weekends ago and we went to a healing service in Clearwater, FL. I prayed for healing for all of the kids and families that I could think of that are also traveling this "road" with us. I hope everyone has a happy, healthy and hopeful Thanksgiving. Take care! "Do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9
